Course Objectives
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Describe the role of pharmacogenomics in the patient care process
- Identify drugs whose clinical outcomes are affected by genetic variability
- Interpret and apply evidence for clinical utility of genotype-informed drug therapy
- Demonstrate evidence-based clinical decision making that incorporates clinical and genetic factors for patient case scenarios across a spectrum of diseases
- Communicate rationale for drug therapy changes informed by genotype
- Assess the effectiveness of genotype-informed drug therapy on the basis of clinical and laboratory parameters
- Identify the key components and steps required for the successful implementation of pharmacogenomics in clinical practice.
